Vasco Cycle Ride

Enjoy a morning bike ride through lush scenery and hear colorful stories about Cochin's history. This guided Cochin bike tour is perfect for nature lovers looking to stretch their legs and take in beautiful sights.

Your Cochin tour begins after receiving your fitted bike and helmet from your professional guide. Together, cycle through small fishermen villages, where you'll catch a glimpse of daily life along the Kochi coast. Smell sweet aromas from coffee shops that only open for business late in the mornings. Narrow cobblestone streets will make you feel like you're traveling back to historic times. Alluring backwaters lined with coconut trees accompany your ride through Fort Kochi.

Afterward, you'll be delighted by the Mattancherry district. Coincidentally, the area is best explored on bicycle. This cultural neighborhood was once a vibrant trading hub, now functioning as a popular and scenic historic venue. Mattancherry is home to India's oldest functioning synagogue, a lovely museum, and other noteworthy attractions.

This small group Cochin tour is active, personal, and social. Book your professionally guided Cochin tour now and go on a memorable biking adventure.
